Parking seemed limited at first, but there's more available in the back. Just a tip: be careful not to miss the entrance, since exiting is a one-way street and re-entering can be tricky. We arrived around 6:45 pm and saw a small line with two groups ahead, but the place is much bigger than it looks from the outside and we were seated quickly in a comfortable booth for four. The pub was clean, and I was especially surprised at how spacious and tidy the washrooms were--not what I usually expect from a pub, which tend to feel older and worn. The menu is huge, and TVs are everywhere--even in our booth. Between us, we tried a good range of dishes: 1. Caprese Salad with Steak - nicely balanced with pesto, though the steak was a little dry. 2. Fish and Chips - incredible portion for $18! Crispy, perfectly cooked fish with fries, coleslaw, and even a Caesar salad. The fries were well-seasoned (no ketchup needed), coleslaw was enjoyable despite me usually not liking it, and the Caesar was delicious. 3. Mexican Salad - flavorful, fresh, and generous in portion. 4. Tuesday Wing Special - wings were $0.90 each, so I ordered 15 with a Coke Zero. The garlic Parmesan was disappointing--dry and lacking flavor--but the Buffalo ranch wings were tender and spot-on. Service was friendly, though our waitress could have been more proactive with drink and water refills. Overall, I was impressed. Clean space, huge portions, good value, and a welcoming pub atmosphere. Definitely a solid stop if you're in the area.

We had Spring Rolls, Mozzarella Sticks, Pierogies, and Cajun Crab & Lobster Bowtie Pasta. The Cajun Crab & Lobster Bowtie Pasta was an absolute knockout winner for me. I did not expect to have pasta this tasty in a little pub. We watched the game and enjoyed the great environment together. There's a dart board and plenty of TV's for all your sports needs

Ughhh, I left it up to my server to surprise me. The Chicken Souvlaki won! It was served open-faced with diced tomatoes and tzatziki on a pita, with a Greek salad on the side. It was the perfect size for lunch. The chicken was a bit underseasoned for my taste but the tzatziki made up for it. The salad was fresh. The ambiance was definitely pub-like, with dark wood interiors and a large bar. Although a bit on the later side for lunch, most of the tables were occupied. That's pretty good! I'll have to come back to try the Fish n'Chips!

I…read morethought The Deck would be a nice place to bring my friends who were visiting from Toronto to, especially since I have been here in the past and enjoyed my meal. As per usual, the service was extremely slow but I told them it's just because Bowmanville runs at a slower pace than Toronto. However, I never understand why it always takes so long for the waitress to bring our drinks at The Deck. This time the waitress brought our three waters and then we waited another 7-10 minutes for our beer. She brought us the two beers we ordered and another water for my one friend. As if she forgot she has just brought us three waters already. I recommended the Deck salad to my friend because I've enjoyed it in the past, as indicated in my previous review. When it arrived, it was the saddest looking salad ever. Also, please not it didn't have a single kale leaf despite the description being that it is a kale salad. The dressing was completely tasteless, perhaps just pure oil. My friends also ordered fries, which were cold. My friend ordered the fries based on their description of being double fried because she likes them crispy. She said they didn't taste double cooked at all. We also asked the server for vinegar and ketchup twice before she brought it. However, she did bring the mayo, which my friend asked to be brought with the fries (because of dietary restrictions.) Apparently the menu descriptions and what you get do not align. The menu should indicate that you will receive a variation of what you hope you're ordering. At the end of this disappointing lunch, the waitress asked if she could clear our plates as we were finished eating. We said yes. Then she proceeded to walk away without clearing any of the plates. As we was leaving, we asked if she could bring our bills. She gave one to me and my friend and my other friend, who only ordered one thing - a burger - had to wait for another bill because she charged for the wrong thing. Which may have been surprising to make a mistake when only one burger needed to be charged, but we unfortunately (or fortunately, as we were prepared for this) expected this. Not impressed. I should have photographed the salad to post but I was too sad!

We ended up ordering the party platter which includes chicken fingers, chicken wings, jalapeno poppers, spring rolls, mozzarella sticks, veggies and garlic bread. We also ordered a slice of their peanut butter fudge brownie cheesecake for dessert. First of all, never have I seen wings THAT BIG. They're GIGANTIC!!!! And they were mighty tasty too! Mozzarella sticks were still stringy even after the trip from the restaurant. Jalapeno poppers were a nice surprise, not too spicy (but with enough kick!), and instead of spring rolls, there was some kind of pizza roll that was delicious! The garlic bread "was garbage" according to my husband, but you can't have high expectations for toasted bread shoved into a takeout container and eaten 30 minutes later. So, more for me :) It was nicely garlicky and did the job, but I think they could make a substitution for takeout orders to improve this particular item. The dessert was TO DIE FOR, by the time I thought to take a picture, it was halfway gone. Definitely make sure you order one of the Peanut Butter Fudge Brownie Cheesecake. YUM. We'll definitely be back to try some other items; they had a wide menu that could accommodate a lot of people.

Normally I have no problems but Friday June 12th around 4pm the bar was a bit busy but does off. Then I didn't check my bill and later realized I didn't get any kind of price adjustment on the food my daughter didn't eat and had to pay extra for the fires thinking it was in place of the kids meal that wasn't fully eaten Not impressed by the service received.

I'm not a huge fan of this city nor the crowds that the pubs attract. All that aside, the food is actually great.

Didn't break the bank. Don't be fooled by its exterior. Would definately go back if I'm ever in the city, just for the food and the awesome prices. P.S the drink specials are AMAZING too.
